After being down 26-7 in the third quarter, the Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a furious comeback to take down the Los Angeles Rams 33-26 on Sunday.
The Eagles had two field goal blocks and got an outstanding performance from wide receiver A.J. Brown. Philly was under 40 yards of total offense in the first half, but was able to mount a comeback to pick up the win.
Before the third quarter, it looked like there was going to be a lot of losers, but plenty of winners came out on top for the Eagles in the game.
Winner: Tush Push
The Eagles were able to run it twice on the opening drive, with one conversion coming on a fourth down and the other resulting in a touchdown. Hurts and the offense reran it on another fourth down and converted that one in the third quarter as well, leading to a touchdown to put them within one possession of the Rams. Three for three on Tush Pushes is a perfect day after the league was complaining about the play.
Winner: Jordan Davis, DT
Just another week of Davis being included in a winner-losers article, as he made some great plays. He got a sack in the game while also chasing down Matthew Stafford on a third and two to force a field goal in the third quarter. He also secured a fourth-down stop early in the fourth quarter, finishing with five tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, and one sack. Not to mention his game-sealing block and return for a touchdown. Davis is making an excellent argument for being the best defensive player on the Eagles right now.
Loser: Quinyon Mitchell, CB
It was a tough assignment for Mitchell to try to cover guys like Davante Adams and Puke Nacua. Mitchell struggled as he was a part of a broken coverage with Reed Blankenship on Adams' touchdown catch in the first half. He allowed several catches in the game, but held strong at the end. If he wants to be the number one corner, he'll have to find a way to be more consistent.
Loser: Matt Pryor, RT
After Lane Johnson got knocked out of the game with a neck injury, Pryor took over at right tackle, and he was about as bad as it got. Within his first two plays, he allowed pressure and a sack. His last play was him missing a block that caused a Jalen Hurts fumble and Rams recovery. He got benched for Fred Johnson, who came to the rescue and played significantly better.
Winner: Fred Johnson, RT
Pryor's disaster of the first two and a half quarters was bad, but Johnson played a pivotal role in helping the Eagles make a massive comeback in the game. Johnson did so well in pass protection and gave Hurts time to make some of his immediate throws. If Lane Johnson is out for some time, Fred Johnson proved that he earned the job at right tackle.

Winner: A.J. Brown, WR
The official coming out party for Brown in 2025 arrived three weeks too late, but came at the right time. Brown finished with six receptions for 109 yards and one touchdown. He showed off his powerful hands and when the ball went in his direction, he was able to bully the Rams defenders. An overall impressive game for Brown and hopefully will open up the passing game more often.
